HIV testing service

Our HIV testing service is quick and easy, and there is no need to make an appointment, just walk in. We also provide post-exposure prophylaxis for sexual exposure to HIV (PEPSE); please call us or walk in to the centre as soon as possible after exposure.

We also offer the Bridge Service, which helps people with learning disabilities to access sexual health services and fast-track STI testing (see below).

Fast-track STI testing

Our fast-track service does just what it says! Rapid tests for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) mean that you can be out of the clinic in as little as 15 minutes.

The service is for men and women who would like a routine checkup (that is, who do not have any symptoms) and would only like to be tested for STIs. Appointments are available to book at the Archway Centre, Margaret Pyke Centre and Mortimer Market Centre.

A fast-track appointment includes testing for:

Chlamydia and gonorrhoea

HIV

Syphilis

Hepatitis (if indicated)

You will be offered all tests suitable to someone without symptoms.

After you complete a self-assessment, a healthcare support worker will check and process the following tests: a urine test for men, a self-taken vaginal swab for women, a blood test and an instant HIV-test result. You will not be seen by a doctor or nurse.

If your test results are negative we will send them to you by text message within seven days. If you have an infection or we need to repeat one of your tests or obtain further information from you, we will phone you to arrange for you to return for treatment.
